“It’s already announced. What else can I think about?”
Mireya gazed at the bright moon in the dark sky. She suddenly felt relaxed. “Actually, Ryan knows me very well. I was happy being with him during this period. However, we always had to wear masks, sneak around, and be very cautious whenever we went out. Sometimes, I felt like what we had was stolen happiness. He would always talk to me about things far away into the future, but I didn’t even dare to think about them. I was scared, but not anymore. Who cares? Let’s just go with the flow. However, if the company’s reputation is tarnished, I’d feel extremely sorry to you all.”
“Don’t say that. People are not fools. Even I was touched, not to mention everyone else. There might be some extreme individuals, but I believe that your relationship with Ryan will be supported by others.”
Cate said sincerely, “Mireya, actually, I wasn’t really supportive of you risking everything for Ryan during the day. However, it’s clear he’s willing to risk everything for you. Don’t be too timid. Ryan is very good to you. He’s worth your effort. He’s not a man who’s just all talk.”
“Thank you.”
Mireya choked up again.
“Okay. You can go on the internet to reply to Ryan now. You can’t let him face everything alone. You, the person involved, should at least give a response. As for the company, we’ll release a statement saying that your personal life is unrelated to work. I believe the whole company will be on your side.”
“Mm.”
Mireya replied in a low voice.
After calming herself down for some time, she finally logged onto Facebook and shared Ryan’s post with a caption: [We’re in a relationship. I wasn’t brave enough in the past, but in the future, I’ll do my best for your sake.]
Not long after, Eliza shared her post too. [I support my friend. Actually, the world isn’t always fair to women. Men in their second or third marriage can marry a young wife who has never been married. It seems like a matter of course to other people, yet women who are divorced and starting over face many criticisms. I wish to say that as long as our hearts are frank and open, every woman has the right to obtain happiness.]
Mireya could not hold back her laughter after seeing that.
Her heart was warm and touched.
What did it matter if she had to face a storm tomorrow? Her friends and the people she loved were all by her side.
…
Late into the night, the whole of Australia was shaken up by the news of the prime minister’s son and Mireya dating. It even made it to the news overseas.
In the official residence, Nathan smashed a cup out of anger on the spot after seeing the statement Ryan posted.
“Ryan, have you really gone crazy? I told you to announce your relationship. After discussing with the team for so long, you chose to do it this way?”
Nathan patted his chest. He almost had a heart a****k. “What did you write? You’re telling everyone that you’ve been secretly in love with your sister-in-law before she even got divorced? These kinds of things should never be written! Can’t you write that you developed feelings for her after staying in the official residence with her?”
“Dad, I initially thought of writing what you said, but I’m afraid that people might discover flaws. It’s better to be honest about these things.”
Nathan was stunned. His face darkened instantly. “What flaws? Did something really happen between you and Mireya before she got a divorce?”
“Of course not.”
Ryan was speechless upon hearing that. “Dad, am I that kind of person? But… I did help her in private a few times before she was divorced. If I wrote as you said, Rodney would ask why I treated her so nicely if I only started liking her after they divorced. That’s why there shouldn’t be any flaws in my words. Besides, even if Mireya isn’t divorced now, there’s nothing wrong with me having a crush on her. Everything I said is the truth. I’m honest and upright. I’m not afraid of criticism.”
Nathan covered his face with his hand. “You… I don’t know what I should say to you. It’s not wrong to have a crush on someone, but the person you like is your sister -in-law. She’s your parents’ goddaughter.”
“Stop fighting.”
Heidi kept looking at the post with her phone. Seeing that Nathan and Ryan were almost done fighting, she raised her head and said, “Ryan isn’t wrong. Besides, what he wrote… It’s his true feelings. I just had a look at it. Things are developing well right now. Most of the people are touched.”
“Really?” Nathan was taken aback. He quickly went over. “Let me see.”
Heidi handed him her phone.
Nathan did not forget to put on his glasses.
[Oh, I can’t take this. I’m so moved. How can there be such a wonderful love?]
[I suddenly find Ryan very manly. Mireya is quite pitiful too. Luckily, her hard times are over and she met Ryan. Love each other bravely. I’ll support you two.]
[“If only she had met me earlier, I’d never have let her be a divorcee.” These are the best words of love I’ve ever heard.]
[Oh my gosh. No wonder everyone was saying in private that Ryan liked men. I thought he really… Okay, he was simply putting on a show for Mireya to see. I don’t know what to say. He’s too harsh on himself. He was willing to label himself as a g*y man to the whole country to woo a woman. His love for Mireya must be real.]
[I’m a divorcee too. My husband had an affair after I gave him. I wanted to get a divorce, but my husband disagreed. He even said to leave the child behind if I wanted a divorce. Therefore, I understand Mireya’s feelings well. There are really men like Rodney out there, and many of them too. Unfortunately, not everyone can meet someone like Ryan.]
[This is so forbidden… The prime minister’s son has a crush on his ex-sister-in-law. But I like it. So what if she’s his ex-sister-in-law? Mireya is divorced now, and they’re not blood-related. She’s very pretty too. It’s normal that he’d fall in love with her.]
[This is so disgusting. He actually fancies his ex-sister-in-law. As expected, those who are wealthier are more perverted.]
[To the person above, is there something wrong with you? Did you read what Ryan wrote? He likes Mireya, but when Mireya was married to Rodney, he hid his feelings for her. He even wanted Rodney to treat Mireya better. It was Rodney who didn’t cherish Mireya.]
[What a bunch of flatterers. Do you all believe everything he wrote? How long has it been since Mireya and Rodney got divorced? Ryan and Mireya might have been having an affair earlier on. He just didn’t say it. ]
[I trust him. Without true feelings, it’s impossible to write such a touching post. A person like you who has never loved anyone will never understand the feeling of being secretly in love with someone else. Besides, what do you mean by how long has it been since Mireya and Rodney got divorced? Rodney married Sarah right after he divorced Mireya. Now, he’s divorced again. Getting divorced once is not a big deal, but divorcing twice is a problem. Rodney doesn’t just have bad taste. There must be something wrong with his character too.]
[When Rodney and Mireya divorced, wasn’t it a big issue? At that time, it was only two months after Mireya had given birth. Before that, she married into the Snow family only because she was pregnant. How could she have had an affair when she was pregnant and right after she gave birth?]
[Actually, if it isn’t true, deep love, a person with such a promising future like Ryan wouldn’t have stepped up to make this statement, right? Moreover, they’re just dating. I’m guessing the Snow family members must be strongly against their relationship. However, he’s even risking his career for Mireya’s sake. To be honest, I’m in awe of that. That’s why I support them.]
[You guys should just date. Although Ryan is quite scheming when he pursues women, those little tricks seem lovable the more I think about it. He’s too charming. If a man treats me the same way, I’ll marry him no matter who he is.]
[Ryan has already spoken. Why hasn’t Mireya said anything yet?]
[Mireya responded. She stepped up and admitted their relationship too. Go and have a look.]
[I saw it. Cate and Eliza voiced out too.]
“…”
There were tens of thousands of comments after that.
Nathan did not read any more of them. After exiting the comments section, he found Mireya and the others’ Facebook posts. His expression got better too. The weight on his heart finally eased.
However…
Nathan frowned. He let out a harrumph and handed the phone to Heidi. “We’ll see again tomorrow. Let’s hope the trend maintains this way tomorrow. However, my opponents might hire paid posters to discredit us.”
“If they’re hiring paid posters, can’t we do the same?” Heidi said as she smiled. “Moreover, everything Ryan said is the truth. He didn’t hide anything. It’s because of that that the people are supportive of them. No matter how many paid posters other people hire, the public won’t believe them.”
“Are you sure there aren’t any flaws in the statement?” Nathan looked toward his son nervously.
“Dad, don’t you believe in my work? Mireya and I never crossed the line when she was still married. She hadn’t even fallen in love with me at that time. We only started dating this year.” Ryan raised his hand, almost taking an oath.
Speaking of their relationship, Nathan could not hold back his anger again. “You must be feeling smug now. You just want to be with Mireya.”
“You…”
“Alright. Aren’t you guys tired of fighting? It’s late and I’m tired. Let’s go to bed.” Heidi stood up. “There are still a lot of things to do tomorrow. How will we have the strength to face them if we don’t rest well?”
“Will I even be able to sleep?” Nathan let out a harrumph.
“You can’t sleep, but I have to sleep.” Ryan got prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he turned his head. “By the way, Dad, I’ll hand in my resignation letter tomorrow.”
“What?” Nathan was shocked. “Are you really resigning?”
“Dad, since I said it, I have to do it. I can’t let people think I’m lying.”
Ryan’s handsome face was stern. “This way, your opponents won’t have any chances to discredit you. Look, regardless of the people’s support or not, you made your biological son resign because of this issue. Other people will say that you, the prime minister, are strictly impartial. Only then will the rumors be advantageous to us. No faults will be found.”
Nathan was aware that what Ryan said was right. However, he was still very disheartened as a father. “But…”
“Dad, I know you might not be used to me not being your right-hand man, but you can hire me as a special advisor. You can still look for me for matters you can’t entrust to other people. Also, I’m planning to get a Ph.D. during this period. I’m still young. I want to spend more time settling down. To be honest, I’m only 26 years old. If I stand out too much, others will get jealous and start to ostracize me. Sometimes, taking a step back can enable further advancement in the future.”
Nathan had no words.
His son had arranged everything well. He could not even refute him.
He should be glad too. After all, Ryan was still young, yet he could think maturely and be independent.
“Just do as he said.” Heidi nodded. “Young people shouldn’t just chase after influence and status. What you have now, you might not have in the future. The knowledge in your brain and the certificate in your hands will be the greatest things to rely on in the future. If there’s still enough time, you should learn the languages of other countries too. I hope you can master more than five languages.”
